Let there be light...

So it seems like the past week, this notion of light have been pretty prevalent everywhere i go. it started with halloween night, with our discussion about halloween and what Christian's should do to respond to it. then there was sunday school today where we were reading a passage from the Sermon on the Mount, the part where Jesus calls us to let our light shine. i was sharing with this with my class, when i was reading this passage im reminded of a scene with a little child and a night light. some kids who are young are afraid of the dark, they may feel scared, insecure and alone, causing them to not be able to sleep. But in the midst of darkness a light shines. from this little light, they are able to find rest. that little light gives the child comfort, peace, and a sense of security.

likewise we are called to do the same thing,

"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." ~ Matthew 5:16

may we be a light that shines in this world of darkness
